Lane 1974 Page #2

Synopsis: Based on a true story, Lane is a 13-year-old girl coming of age on a Northern California commune in the 1970s. While Lane enjoys the freedom of living off-the-grid with her mother and younger siblings, she craves a stable "normal" life - a life she's only seen in pictures from a stolen Sears catalog.

After a series of dangerous and isolating events, Lane decides to forge her own path in hopes of finding a better life after it becomes clear her family has fallen apart.

Yeah, I know it's cheese.

What the hell is cheese

doing in here?

Huh?

Does anyone know what's

in cheese?

It's just milk.

No, it's not just milk.

It's rennet.

Do you know what rennet is?

Huh?

Do you?

It's the lining of

a cow's stomach.

Goddamn it! I swear.

I can't get out of this place

for five minutes

without it all going to sh*t.

Goddamn it, Lane.

Wake up!

Get out of my way.

Sorry.

Do you know what

you're gonna wear tomorrow?

Probably my rainbow

turtleneck sweater...

and my flower bell bottoms.

What are you wearing?

I was thinking

my white top, or my blue top.

The white top is super stained.

Then I'll just wear

the blue one.

Oh.

Lane, what's your dream house?

Well...

It would have a big backyard,

with a pool...

and it would have one of those

covered patios next to the pool.

And the house would be

super clean.

And white.

And I would sit by the pool...

And my mom would

be super pretty.

She'd brush my hair.

Are you done with yours?

Do you wanna grab

Berry's for me, please?

Spoon.

Hello.

You must be the new kids.

I'm Susan.

Over there is Kevin.

Why don't you come on in,

take your shoes off.

Join us.

Where is your dad?

Claude?

New Mexico.

I don't know where

Shayla's dad is, though.

Truck.

Get out of the road.

Come on.

Okay, let's go.

Can we get a ride?

Thank you.

Mean Mary Ann

She won't take

Take my hand

A river

Where she gone down

For no place

She's never been

Boys, go get me firewood.

Lane.

We need to get this fire started.

Come on.

All right. I'm gonna need

more than that.

Hey, Shayla.

Help me find the rice, okay?

Hey, Berry.

Stay out of the water.

Berry, I don't want you

to get wet.

Hey. I've been

looking for you.

Look what I found.

Wow.

I love that.

If I lived in the city,

I'd wear that for sure.

I would be...

her.

Um... her.

I'm her.

I'm her!

God! I like everything in here.

Really?

Yeah.

Even bras.

Even furniture.

Wow.

So pretty.

We should take it.

No one will know.

All right, everyone.

Five minutes

until we go outside.

Let's clean up.

Five minutes.

Five minutes.

We're gonna head out.

"The princess looked

to the riverbed in dismay.

And there she saw

thousands of rocks

over which the magical river

had once flowed.

'How am I to know which rock he's

trapped in?' the young girl wailed.

The little fairy queen replied,

'You must pick up each rock

and listen to it carefully,

and if you choose the rock

in which he is trapped,

you will hear his voice

calling out to you.

Then neither he nor you

shall ever be lonely again.'

And with this, the little

fairy queen vanished.

The girl dried her tears,

and seeing no other option,
